negative regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA The process in which microRNAs (miRNAs) block the translation of target mRNAs into proteins. Once incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a miRNA will typically repress translation if the miRNA imperfectly base-pairs with the 3' untranslated regions of target mRNAs. down regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA down-regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA downregulation of translation involved in gene silencing by miRNA gene silencing by miRNA, negative regulation of translation negative regulation of translation involved in gene silencing by microRNA negative regulation of translation, ncRNA-mediated
